On October 4, 2017,  www.npa.ge published a video titled “How Arabs Insult the Savior at Narikala.” According to the author of the video, the footage shows how ethnically Arab people insult the savior by imitating him on the “cross”. The npa.ge material comes with a xenophobic tag – “Dirty Arabs”.

The same video, with a title “’Arab Investors’, who Imitate the Savior on the Cross on Narikala Mountain”, was uploaded on Youtube by a user named Giorgi Dundua on 3 October 2017 and was followed by xenopohobic and discriminative reactions in the comments section.

The video published on Youtube and npa.ge, as well as the accompanying description are manipulative, as the quality, filming angle and form does not offer the ability to identify the background, form of behavior and motive of the individuals.

  1. It is Impossible to Identify Ethnicity and Behavior of the Individuals in the Video

It is impossible to precisely identify the ethnic background, as well as the form and motive of their behavior merely based on the video material. The title of the video – “Arab Investors, who Imitate the Savior on the Cross on Narikala Mountain” is manipulative and contains xenophobic vocabulary.

   2. Islam Acknowledged Jesus Christ as a Prophet

The author of the video incites hate speech against the foreign citizens based on their alleged insulting of Jesus Christ. Islam, the followers of which comprise the majority of Arabs, Jesus Christ is acknowledged as a prophet.
